Objective
Zinc acetate was added to protoporphyrin ix to place the metal in the middle of the protoporphyrin ix structure
Procedure
- 10 ml of of DMF was added to a 50ml round bottom flask and was brought to boiling point on
- After it started boiling, 0.1059g of protoporphyrin ix was added to the boiling DMF and it was allowed to completely dissolve for 20min while still boiling
- After 20min, 0.0226g of zinc acetate was added to the solution and it was heated for 30min to allow the reaction take place
- Then the flask was cooled in ice bath for 15min
- 20ml of concentrated HCl was added to the solution and was placed in the ice bath for another 10min
- The solution was filtered
